Oxaliplatin-Induced Neurotoxic Side Effects and Their Impact on Daily Activities: A Longitudinal Study Among Patients With Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Oxaliplatin (OXA) is frequently used in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer, and OXA-induced neurotoxic side effects are common. Reports on real-time patient-reported neurotoxic side effects and impact on the patient's daily activities are sparse in existing studies.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and assess patient-reported OXA-induced neurotoxic side effects and their impact on the patient's daily activities, during and after chemotherapy.

Neurotoxic Side Effects Early in the Oxaliplatin Treatment Period in Patients With Colorectal Cancer.

Purpose: To identify and describe experiences of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who have neurotoxic side effects early in the oxaliplatin treatment period, and how neurotoxicity affects their daily lives.

Participants & Setting: 10 patients with stage II-III CRC were included. All were treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin postoperatively and assessed neurotoxicity via a platform-independent mobile phone-based system.

The trajectory of neurotoxic side effects' impact on daily life: a qualitative study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxic side effects among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and how these side effects influenced their daily lives over time.

Methods: To assess neurotoxic side effects, ten patients were repeatedly interviewed. The patients were recruited from two hospitals in south of Sweden, had stage II-III CRC, and had been treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin postoperatively, from November 2013 to October 2015.

Variation at presentation among colon cancer patients with metastases: a population-based study.

Aim: The study aimed to describe and follow a 2 year cohort of colon cancer patients with Stage IV disease from presentation to long-term outcome.

Method: The records of 177 colon cancer patients diagnosed in southeast Sweden during 2009-2010 with disseminated disease at presentation were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: The patients were heterogeneous with respect to age, performance status and survival.

Causes of death after surgery for colon cancer-impact of other diseases, urgent admittance, and gender.

OBJECTIVE. In patients with colon cancer, high age and comorbidity is common. In this population-based retrospective study we have investigated causes of death and the influence of urgent operation, and gender on survival.
